"I am willing to return to the Dongfan and preside over the marching department there..." Li Yi said: "The Dongfan can immigrate to another 200,000 to 300,000 in the past two years. According to our estimate, it can reach 500,000 in three years, more than 100,000 in the central area, 400,000 in the south, and tens of thousands of people can also accommodate tens of thousands of people to reclaim farmland and set up farmyards. In addition, sugarcane, tea fields, cotton fields, various workshops and mines, and seaside salt fields, the important thing is not under Fujian Road. If I were not in the Dongfan, I would be very worried..."

"Mr. Li is still waiting to take over the Fujian Army Department..." Fang Shaoqun's agent Xu Zixian replied: "Dongfan, Fujian, should be where the king of dragon rises. Dongfan is best to entrust him to Fu Muzhi. He is the marching officer and craftsman. He must have weapons, crossbows, armor, artillery and other military weapons bureaus under him. At the same time, he must also take into account the casting and production of civilian equipment and manage several workshops. It is indeed impossible for him to... "

Li Yi understood the meaning of Fang Shaoqun's words. The industrial and commercial trade in the Dongfan, including salt, sugar and tea, were quite developed, but the construction bases of various workshop equipment, including the shipyard, were also in the south of the Dongfan. Although many officials and officials who were proficient in miscellaneous studies had served in the Craftsmanship Department, they were actually in charge of the overall situation and could innovate. This was often overjoyed by Fu Qian.

"By the way." Fang Shaoqun said at the end: "There is also the Education Department, it is most appropriate to be a clerk for Mr. Wu."

Wu Shizhong had a high status, and even Fang Shaoqun, who didn't think much of the pure Confucian scholar, was called a master but not famous.

"Will Mr. Wu?"

"It's time to run a school, teach according to your aptitude, and there is no difference in teaching." Fang Shaoqun smiled and said, "Why wouldn't Mr. Wu?"

"That's how, everything is safe." Li Yi leaned back on the back of the chair with a relaxed look. His eyes were turned out to the window. The courtyard outside was empty, but there were endless officials and soldiers coming and going. Only under the big tree to the west, the old pavilion with straw on the roof was still there. Through the strong light covered with dust, Li Yi seemed to be able to see Xu Yingbin sitting in the pavilion. Xu Zi first stood beside her with her buns, while he held her to play chess with Lao Nan'an Hou.

"It's not safe." Xu Zixian has been reading the official documents just now. Many major events and details are discussed in front of him. Chen Zuocai and Fang Shaoqun were discussing, and they also communicated with the generals in the army. He had previously discussed letters with Li Yi. This whole set of arrangements is based on the actual situation in front of him. In the next one or two years, Xu Zixian will fight as the Prince of Kaifu, and let Li Kaiming go for a few months to half a year. After he reorganized his team, he entered Jiangxi to attack and then Jingnan. It is estimated that the entire process will take one or two years.

Xu Zixian must have no way to stay in Fuzhou for a long time, let alone the Dongfan period. Therefore, the reform of the entire shogunate system is adapted to local conditions and is a change in line with the actual situation in the future.

The only thing Xu Zixian hesitated about was where his wife's wife was. It sounds more suitable for Fuzhou, but Dongfan just started and was a promising place. Putting his wife and children on the island is of great use to encourage immigration and stabilize the morale of the military and civilians.

After one or two years, Xu Zi returned to Fuzhou first, and then took his wife and children to Fuzhou. The situation in Dongfan also stabilized and entered a period of slow development. At that time, time might be more appropriate.

However, this kind of consideration is not appropriate to talk to the pregnant wife first. Xu Zi wanted to write a letter a few times, but when the brush strokes were touched on the paper, he didn't know how to write.

It is really a dilemma for a husband to be born in the world. He has both ambitions and a wife and children to take into account both.

"What's next?" Fang Shaoqun turned to Xu Zixian and said, "Do you have to wait a little longer or go and cook the following things?"

"It's done, it's considered a final finish." Xu Zixian smiled coldly and said, "I'll write a warrant and ask Jin Jian to deal with it."

The nobles in Fuzhou City cannot understand the punishment of the canon, but they are not taking into account their feelings. With Xu Zixian's current strength, what if all the nobles in the city rebelled? Under the general trend, what if they want to resist is to bend the chariot by the mantis arm, and they will be crushed to pieces by the Qin King's Mansion Army.

However, King Zhao's defeat killed a large number of Fujian children, which originally caused the people to be dissatisfied with the royal family. Fortunately, Xu Zixian was able to protect the country and the royal family had a fig leaf.

If the royal family members colluded with thieves, it was not a matter of ability, but a serious problem of ethics. If the people found that these people could not protect themselves and their ethics could not be respected, the image of the royal family members would decline significantly, including Xu Zixian himself.

Although from the inner feeling, Xu Zi first wanted to push the Chen brothers and others to the Minjiang River to behead them, or give them a decent way to die. He put a few hanging rods and hung them on the pole to hang them alive, watching their bodies floating around in the air... Xu Ziwei, the Chen brothers and others deserve such punishment.

What a pity, Xu Zixian thought without any nostalgia.

...

The killings on the Min River lasted for more than an hour, and in the end, the people nearby were exhausted. Many people could not accept such a killing scene and left early.

Leftover

The people under him were also quite dull, and the people liked to watch executions. There were not many ways to entertain them these days. For many poor people, it was enough to brag about the beheading once.

The students and businessmen rarely watch this kind of excitement, let alone officials and gentry.

This time, many officials and gentry gathered on the side of the Minjiang River. After the execution, they watched the shirtless mansion soldiers waved shovels and shoveled soil, burying a large number of headless bodies in a deep pit.

Zheng Mingyuan and Wei Yi were originally together, but later they met Chen Zhengzhi and others, and then came down to meet Chen Duzhu, Xu Yanda, Wei Jiuzhen, and a group of high-ranking officials, gentry and businessmen from Jiangxi and Liangzhe Road. It was the least happy for the younger generation to meet the elders, but there was no way. Wei Yi and Zheng Mingyuan could only follow the elders honestly.

While everyone was walking, they met Xu Xingwei who was riding a horse back to the city. Seeing many elders walking towards the carriage, Xu Xingwei stopped for a moment, bowed to Xu Yanda, Wei Jiuzhen and others, with a look of apology on his face, and waved his hand to Wei Yi... The two are good brothers, and everything is indifferent.

"Your Qianlijiao first caught everyone's eyes and it was such an errand." Wei Jiuzhen shook her head at Xu Yanda and said, "I'm afraid she has a bad reputation for him in the future."

"What's wrong?" Xu Yanda couldn't answer, and Chen Duzhu rushed to say, "Zi Zhang's future reputation will not only not be bad, but also very good, quite good."

"Old Zhu said," a big businessman from Jingnan said excitedly: "We are waiting for Lord Xu to go to our Jingnan, the sooner the better!"

"We in Jiangxi are not much better. There are only a few places such as Hongzhou and other places that are peaceful, and there are many bandits in the rest."

"For the sake of stealing, except for some who really cannot afford taxes, they have to eat, they are mostly idle and unemployed. They are originally thieves and even dare to kill and rob. The more peaceful the place is, the more ruthless these people are."

"They robbed not the big gentry and grain farmers. They were mostly harmful to local wealthy businessmen and middle-class families, and used the poor to rob them. In order to rob, they could do whatever cruel things were done. They tied up other people's children and gave money later. I have seen this many times in my hometown. The kidnapped children were mostly boys of a few years old. After robbing the tickets, the crying of their parents was unbearable. How could they know the sad and tragic ones that had not been seen with their own eyes? As for robbing and killing people, they often killed all the villages and burned the villages. It is common. The people in Jingnan are fierce, and the mountain people work throughout the day and look hard and simple. At night, they put their hoes on the side of the road, and rarely let them go to live. Most of them choose a deep pit in the mountains after killing them, or

It was dug a hole to bury it. How many people passing by on Guangdong South Road lost their lives in us, and they could not be found at all. The local prosecutors and local prefectures and counties were either unable to interfere or do nothing, or they simply joined forces with the thieves to divide them into each other. There are as many as a thousand or even thousands of people, and there are dozens of thieves. There are as many as a bull's hair. If you want to say that the tax is heavy, the rest of the other are also heavy taxes, and it is not as powerful as I, Jingnan. Therefore, Your Highness, the King of Qin, said that the ruling of chaotic times should be used to control troubled times. If you take the tax first and then kill the bandits, this is the most serious way. In this way, the gentry and good people can take a breath, and you can have enough food, and you don't have to worry about being tied up with your children or killing them to the door. The local profit and people's hearts will all be owned by Your Highness at once."

When this Jingnan businessman tells the story, he is sometimes sad and angry, and sometimes depressed. The sad and angry expression is not a slight falsification. The things about Jingnan are terrifying, and I really don’t know how these big merchants survived where they wait.

When everyone was shocked and suspicious, Chen Duzhu nodded and said in a pretty affirmative tone: "What I said is true. I have been to Jingnan many times, but I haven't been there in the past two years."

Chen Duzhu's identity from a noble family will be taken care of by people everywhere. There are places where officials, gentry, and merchants with such backgrounds dare not go there. Everyone believes that what the Jingnan people said should be a fact.

Wei Yi and Zheng Mingyuan were walking together. Zheng Mingyuan sighed at this time: "I felt that His Highness, the King of Qin, killed more than a thousand people at once, and the methods were too cruel. Now, listening to the situations mentioned by various merchants, one is glad that I had not arrived in Fujian Road, and the other is that his Highness was extremely suitable for him to deal with it."

"I invite you to come today, just to use the power of the newspaper." Wei Yi was actually a busy man. He had already been preparing to return to Penghu, but was called back by Xu Zixian halfway through. The reason was simple. He wanted to communicate with the editor-in-chief of the newspaper in front of him and reveal Xu Zixian's meaning.

"I already understand." Zheng Mingyuan said seriously: "I thought the King of Qin was too urgent and cruel before. Now I understand that if there is no need for such a severe punishment, once the local area continues to be corrupt, it will be impossible for Jingnan and Jingbei to become Jingbei. Besides, although the killing is severe, it is a Ming Zhengzhu punishment, and no one has any strange words to say."

“Next

The Qin Palace will also run newspapers, and will also encourage many nobles, officials and gentry families such as Changwen Hou Mansion to jointly run newspapers." Wei Yi said: "But the weekly newspaper is an old newspaper. The Qin Palace will cancel many restrictions on review and distribution. As long as it is not intentional fraud and fabricating rumors is illegal, there is nothing in the newspaper. This time, Brother Zheng and I communicated with each other, not to ask Brother Zheng to report on the course of His Highness's actions and explain to His Highness, but to ask the brother to publish the previous questions first and raise questions and object to His Highness's actions."

"Ah?" Zheng Mingyuan's mouth opened, and he didn't understand Wei Yi's intention for the moment.

Wei Yi smiled and said with a smile: "I was recalled by the King of Qin halfway to Penghu, so I wouldn't have to ask the newspaper to explain to Your Highness... The shogunate will have a Tang newspaper, and all newspapers can be reproduced. Your Highness means that since we say we should focus on public opinion, we can speak out, and we cannot choose the identity if we have any questions. Today, we dare not question the King of Qin. If there is another King of Wei and King of Jin tomorrow, we will not dare to ask faults. So what is the so-called emphasis on public opinion, and what is the meaning of it? Therefore, Brother Zheng's weekly newspaper must be discussed in a long way and report the current situation. Brother Zheng personally wrote an article to criticize the current situation..."

Zheng Mingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Why do I want my weekly newspaper? I am just the editor-in-chief and there are several major shareholders on it. I want to make money by running newspapers."

"Your Highness attaches great importance to the rules, and no one in the shogunate dares to ask for trouble. Please rest assured of this level. As for the shareholders, you have to take it over. If you want to make money, if you do such a thing, your weekly image will be increased. Isn't this a real benefit?"

Wei Yi also wrote a report, and it was impossible for Zheng Mingyuan to fool him.

The Wei Dynasty had previously strictly regulated newspapers, or it was because of poor protection. If the newspaper offended any high-ranking officials, from shareholders to editor-in-chief, ordinary editors might be retaliated against.

Under the threat, the newspapers of course published some gossip and gossip to attract attention. The genuine version was transcribed by the imperial court, and the literary section was also more important. After all, most people who bought newspapers had their spare time and were free and had their own money to study. Even if ordinary people could understand the text, they would definitely not buy five cents to buy a newspaper to read. Five cents were enough to buy two to three sesame cakes. How could poor people waste their money on such uses?

Since Xu Zi first opened the show, he repeatedly said that no royal family or officials were allowed to speak out about criminals. He repeatedly emphasized the matter of newspaper public opinion monitoring the government. After the news spread, many journalists, including Zheng Mingyuan, were excited.

If a newspaper dares to attack the King of Qin, it will definitely attract a lot of attention. Newspapers from various companies will be published one after another, and it is not impossible to get the paper in Luoyang.

Just doing this is to take a big risk. Xu Zixian was the King of Qin after all, and he held high power. He just ordered more than a thousand people to behead him outside the city. Such power and murderous aura were so terrifying that Zheng Mingyuan was a little nervous.

Secondly, Zheng Mingyuan was also grateful to Xu Zixian and was unwilling to criticize him in the newspaper.

"I have been in the industry for twenty years..." Zheng Mingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "I have never heard of such a strange thing."

Zheng Mingyuan looked at Wei Yi and suddenly said, "Isn't it Yan Ke that you are fooling me and teasing me?"

"I'm running back and forth for dozens of miles just to joke with Brother Zheng?" Wei Yi spread his hands and said helplessly: "This is really Mingda's instructions, and he repeatedly reminded him to implement it as soon as possible."

"Your Highness's mind is really admirable..." Zheng Mingyuan was really moved, and what he had never heard of was a strange story before.

"You don't have to do this," Wei Yi said: "To be honest, Mingda has his own intention to do this. First, it is to really let newspapers relax public opinion, and supervision must be there. You cannot let the newspapers take money and talk nonsense, criticize officials at will, and criticize and distort policies. But this matter will start from the legal system, not the temporary likes and dislikes of people. Otherwise, the King of Qin has the power today, and the King of Zhao has the power yesterday, and the public opinion is controlled. What kind of supervision is talking about? Second, it is to kill people in the military law. Although it is undisputed in law and is also a way to save the times and save the world, it will spread, after all, it will affect Mingda's image. Once the newspaper attacks, people will vent their resentment and dissatisfaction. The King of Qin has no choice but to do with the newspaper and you, Editor-in-Chief Zheng, and will not deal with it. In this way, the matter of newspaper supervision can be truly implemented."

Zheng Mingyuan had nothing to say and said immediately: "There is only one thing, please send some troops to protect the newspaper and me. Otherwise, I will know that the Qin King's army can read books and newspapers. Don't any military man get angry after reading the article, run over to beat my brothers, or even secretly give us an arrow. That would be a huge injustice!"

Zheng Mingyuan is not telling a joke. This situation is not only possible, but very likely!

Wei Yi held back his laughter and clasped his fists and said seriously: "Don't worry, Brother Zheng, I will tell Your Highness to transfer a small team of troops to protect Brother Zheng."
